Garza is an emotional midget.

Agreed

Starting to look like Garza for Young was one head case for another. But as long as we came out of the trade with Bartlett and a possible important future reliever, then I’m happy with the result.

Bigger concern to me is the starting pitching staff is starting to look only 2 deep. You have Shields and Kazmir, and then the quality falls off the cliff. We need Sonny and Garza pitching into the 6th inning. ERA of 4.25-4.50 is fine, but we need more innings and we need consistency. E-Jax at #5 doesn’t bother me. You can only expect so much from a #5 guy, and I’d argue that we have one of the better ones in the AL. If we win the lottery with him, fantastic. If not, that’s fine too considering what we are asking him to do.

THIS. IS. AWFUL.

Garza had some character issues coming from Minnesota, but this is not what I expected. I’m throughly convinced at this point that Garza is a mess and needs to be removed from the major league ballclub. Between his blowup in Boston, his “injury”, and now this crap with Navarro, I’m done wanting to see him on the mound; I don’t care how nasty his stuff is.

Learn how to be a major leaguer, then you can take the mound. In the meantime, someone else who isn’t a crababy candyass can fill your slfot.

Shouldn't James Hoye be on the "Three Down"?

His WPA had to be under .200 tonight.

Crawford: .266/FAIL/FAIL

He’s gotta turn that corner some time this season, right? Right?

Longlorious.
